Win three Super Bowls and he goes to the rarest of places. That’s Tom Brady, and the Broncos have to decide what to do with Brady this week.

“One of the best ever,” said Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey. “Everybody always wonders who’s going to be the next guy, but he always reminds everybody who the best is.

“Smart, accurate, he has all the tools, tough, everything you want in a player.”

He’s also one of the most difficult NFL quarterbacks to pressure.

This year, according to league statistics, only the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers has performed better when faced with extra rushers from opposing defenses. Rodgers has completed 67.6 percent of his passes against the blitz to go with 11 touchdowns and just two interceptions.

That all works out to a league-leading passer rating of 134.6 against the blitz.

Brady is No. 2, having completed 61.5 percent of his passes against the blitz with 12 touchdowns and two interceptions. He has been sacked only nine times against the extra rushers, a testament to his ability to get the ball out quickly.

“He gets rid of it,” said Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil. “He can be frustrating.”

The Broncos’ best bet to leave all hands in coverage may be to rush four players, and mix and match where they come from in the formation.

That has been Dennis Allen’s goal for much of the season when he wants to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks, to overload a gap or two, to drop some players off the line of scrimmage as he adds linebackers and defensive backs to the rush.

“You’ve got to find ways to pressure Tom Brady, whether it’s up the middle or off the edge,” Allen said. ” … He’s the guy we’ve got to find ways to affect.”

One matchup that will bear watching: Former CU tackle Nate Solder figures to start at right tackle Sunday for the Patriots, and that would put Broncos linebacker Von Miller across from the rookie.

The Broncos could use a look they’ve flashed at times this season with Dumervil and Miller on the same side of the formation when they get in certain passing downs.
